Is Dante's Inferno one of the movies .

Swatopluk

Nope (and for what question btw? I guess #14)

As a reminder: Open questions:

6. What (non-English) movie is considered to be the first to show a vampire with elongated canines (as opposed to incisors or not showing them at all)?
11. In what movie is the Jewish main character accidentally killed because he does not speak Hebrew?
14. In what movie are all participants killed before the film is about half over leading to the second half taking place in hell?

Hints:
#6 has to do with the founding of modern Israel
#7 not English but American (not US)
#14 Look East or search the forum

I repeat: many answers can be found on this forum itself.

Indeed they can. But unfortunately none of them relate to this blinking Quiz.    ;D

Perhaps you could make the next quiz be about cephalopods? I know lots about them!

We had the Calamari Wrestler in the last one and that what came from beneath the sea (and which might have been an octopus in some scenes) in this one.

#14 can be found and not just in a passing remark. Even the crappy search function should yield it.
#7 can be found on wikipedia (unless someone killed the info since I last checked (a few hours ago)
#11 How many movies (not documentaries) are there actually about the founding of Israel? Hint: the hero is an American Jew who does not speak Hebrew, which will be his death in the end. Portrayed by a very famous actor. Film includes also the secret building of a road to Jeruslaem to break a siege.

Exodus? Quo Vadis? The Silver Chalice ? The Robe ? Demetrius and The Lion ?

Swatopluk

#110
Nope! We are talking about modern Israel, so sandal movies don't fit and it is not Leon Uris' Exodus either (to avoid confusion: Exodus can refer to several movies, none is the right answer here)
Hint: the protagonist's son had his debut in this film as an uncredited jeep driver

I botched the numbers a bit in the posts below. So here the questions again

5. What is the parallel (apart from being b/w silent sequel movies with similar titles) between "The Son of the Sheikh" and "Don Q – Son of Zorro"?
It has something to do with the actors and required a special effect
6. What (non-English) movie is considered to be the first to show a vampire with elongated canines (as opposed to incisors or not showing them at all)?
It's American but not US or in English
Can be found easily on wikipedia
11. In what movie is the Jewish main character accidentally killed because he does not speak Hebrew?
See above
14. In what movie are all participants killed before the film is about half over leading to the second half taking place in hell?
Answer can be found on the forum (even with our crappy search function)

Maybe visiting the Humbleodeon occasionally will yield some answers.

Quote11. In what movie is the Jewish main character accidentally killed because he does not speak Hebrew?

I can only remember that film where whosit gets on a bus and speaks english by mistake instead of gerrman and hence gets re-captured. my brain is mush at present.

DOH ! The filing cabinets in my brain are full , I viewed these productions but ??????

Ummmm....the silent films...did they involve a " split screen " with the lead actors playing two parts ?

Swatopluk

Bruder Cuzzen got the Don Q/Sheik part right.
Valentino/Fairbanks played both father and son in said  movies. Both ending with a big fight where father comes to the rescue of son and both fighting back-to-back

I dropped a GIANT hint in my previous post concerning the Jew-doesn't-speak-Hebrew movie. The other two missing movies have been shown in the Humbleodeon (and btw I updated wikipedia on the vampire stuff some time ago)

So, here are the remaining questions (3rd quiz is ready for launch)
6. What (non-English) movie is considered to be the first to show a vampire with elongated canines (as opposed to incisors or not showing them at all)?
11. In what movie is the Jewish main character accidentally killed because he does not speak Hebrew?
14. In what movie are all participants killed before the film is about half over leading to the second half taking place in hell?
